.the american movie machine at work.
.after the american remake of REC (which i couldn't bring myself to watch) another fat fingered hollywood fuck up is on its way. The twist is in the subtitles of 'let the right one in". Which, if you get a chance to see is probably one of the greatest vampire movies to come around. BUT in the american dvd/blu ray, they didn't feel like hiring the same person and paying out X amount. So, to save money on the transfer(not using the same translator for the subtitle files), they(we) got a water down version of the dialogue(cheaper transfer). AND the salt to the wound is MAGNET(distro) doesn't really care. Check out this article(thanks b for the heads up). If you ever get a chance to see the original, do it. right now. the movie is amazing.

I absolutely loved that movie and have been trying to get everyone I know to see it.
Another movie this happened to was Volcano High, a Korean martial arts movie an old roommate turned me on to. The American redub used a different script with some bigger-name actors (Method Man, Tracy Morgan, Pat Morita, Mya). I couldn't even get through it.
The kicker is that you can't even get the old version any more unless you can find it used. Way to ruin a movie, people. Hope the same doesn't happen with [REC].
